Maybe girlie will be flying around in the stage like a marionette? It is possibke because of Elvana from FiK or even larger; maybe some sort of breakdance with it, have strings across her?
The song is connected to the song "Poupée de cire, poupée de son" by France Gall, who sang it for Luxembourg in 1965 and also won. It’s exactly 60 years ago, so it fits really well. The song "Poupée de cire, poupée de son" is hard for me to translate, but it’s about a doll that lets itself be "controlled" like a puppet. It’s also associated with the era when men dominated the music industry and, more generally, when the male gender was more dominant in society. I tried to find explanations for the song online and found this: “The song was understood by many as a kind of ‘meta-commentary’ on the role of women in the music industry, portraying a young, naïve singer who allows herself to be used by the industry and the men who control it. Gainsbourg, who was known for addressing provocative and often controversial topics, allegedly deliberately portrayed France Gall as a ‘doll’ who ‘plays’ what is told to her. The feminist critique of this song was that it depicts the young woman as a mere object controlled by men. Furthermore, the song itself was perceived by some as somewhat cynical and manipulative. The title ‘Poupée de cire, poupée de son’ (Wax doll, sound doll) was interpreted as depicting a young woman as an empty shell who only responds to external influences and has no voice of her own.” The new song by Laura Thorn is about her singing that she is not a doll who will let herself be "controlled" by others, that she doesn't want to keep quiet. The title “La poupée monte le son” translates to “The doll turns up the volume” or “The doll raises the tone,” and it’s meant to suggest that women can make their own decisions about what they do. They can stand on their own and don’t need anyone else. This is also sung in the song. Furthermore, she sings a part that says, "It’s a different pattern, a different era, and now I raise my voice." That’s why there’s a shift in the song when she rips off her doll costume and is dressed differently. I believe (in my opinion) this is meant to symbolize the liberation from the "doll role." The staging is really well done, and for anyone who understands the lyrics, it’s a great song and a beautiful homage to our dear France Gall. I hope I could clarify a bit.
You could also translate « La poupée monte le son » as “The doll is making noise.” In essence, 60 years later the doll has found her own voice and is speaking up for herself. Initially, I wasn’t a fan of this song, but I’m LOVING the meta narrative at play
It’s a catchy tune, the staging and dancing needs to be stronger so she really really needs to practice to make it more polished then it could be very strong.
I actually think this has a chance. We have seen vocal performances as well as revamps massively help songs. The bones are there, it just needs a bit of cleaning.
@@megavanish69 Okay, aber ich habe den anderen Teilnehmern des Wettbewerbs zugehört und tatsächlich dreimal für Laura Thorn gestimmt, also denke ich, dass das stimmt.
luxembourg needs to learn how to construct less tacky performances because this is a very solid song that deserves the justice of being sent with a good staging

Unfortunately her performance after winning wasn't as good as the first one! She said herself she wasn't quite ready to perform after all the emotions she encountered after winning...
I love it! He deserved to win, there is a lot to improve, but he was the best and he will do very well in Eurovision! This is the presentation already being the winner.
@@piotrlipinski48 I mean to be fair so was France Gall's song (lyric-wise), but those were different times, there was no Junior Eurovision, kids were even allowed to participate in Eurovision. But music-wise, you can't compare the two songs.
tebriklerrr, çok tatlı bir show ve sahneleme yalnız geliştirilmesi gerekiyor. ellerini başta çok kullandı ilk yarıda sonra kullanmaya devam etmemesi gerekiyor, şarkıyı arkaya söyletmesin ayrıca kendisi söylesin full, aa kısımlarını esc'de ne de olsa kendi sesi back vokal olacağından oraları ordan destek alsın daha da uzatsın, arkadan geliyor aaa mesela burada ama kendisi bırakmıştı, işte oraları bırakmasın yarışmada. 0.38 den itibaren başlayan hareketlenme kısmında pasif hareketler yapmak yerine yürüsün. ayrıca daha klasik akılda kalıcı bir dans bulmaları gerekiyor, ya da robot dersi alsın ağzımızı açık bırakacak kadar güzel bir robot dans kısmı olsun, şarkı güzel ses güzel konsept güzel daha oyuncağımsı bir hava verilebilir görsel olarak, teşekkürler !!!
I like it, it is very old school Eurovision, catchy, she is charming, remember Puppet on a string, I liked their song last year too, good to have Luxembourg back
Easily the best song I've heard this Eurovision season, the only one that give me Top 5 vibes so far. Could be a messy year so who know, I certainly wouldn't mind if Luxembourg won ! She will need to work on her vocals while moving this much though if she wants a chance of winning. The studio version sounds 10x better.
She was completely off key during the whole thing, however this type of performance and song is truly what eurovision is. It reminds me of the 2000sand 2010s era, which I really enjoyed. She's not gonna win, obviously but at least is not a horrible song like most songs from 2024 edition..
100% qualifier, this nostalgic yet modern take on it will get many votes. I think it's the best song I've heard all Eurovision season, but she needs to work on her live vocals.
@@PierreLoranda doesn't really matter if the song is this average, like, it literally is a song made for junior Eurovision ,and even in they it wouldn't do well.
This is what classic Luxembourg was about!
I LOVE the whole marionette choreo thing, i hope they do something even bigger like that in basel

This is about to become a eurovision classic 😅
Yeah I agree 👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣😅
Now here is a banging song in the classic Eurovision tradition! Love it and hope it wins and takes the contest back to its roots a little bit ❤
Best song of this NF
Thanks Luxembourg to send this
A real song, an artist who has a voice - great song! Merci Luxembourg 🥰 Buena suerte, good luck ❤️
This year juries have better taste than televote

This is Eurovision ... Wonderful
Imagine if THIS was their comeback last year. Could have gave them a solid placing in the grand final.
...but they did get a solid placing in the grand final?
Yeah, 13th is very good for a comeback
fighter>>>>>
Fighter was better than this trash.
I go back in time to 1965 and say “In the future another song about dolls will win Eurovision for Luxembourg.” They ask me when and I say “2025”
It really cool! Luxembourg is on fire) Thanks for the wonderful song! ❤️❤️❤️
Top 10 for Luxembourg is coming!
I actually think this has a chance. We have seen vocal performances as well as revamps massively help songs. The bones are there, it just needs a bit of cleaning.
Oh yeah, this was fun. Onya Luxembourg this is my winner so far! 12 points from Australia 🇦🇺

YES YES YES!!!!
Yeah, Ukraine will have to share they 100% qualified country title at Eurovision for another year, Because this song is amazing!!!!! 😍
Funny that the whole selection produced by ukrainian team
@@rumenokIt could only be that, Ukraine knows very well how to do Eurovision 🥰
With a few tweaks in the staging this will make it to the final with no problems and I predict a similar placing to last year’s.
Amazing
I LOVE IT ¡¡¡¡
Better than last year's entry
Yeah, it is but Fighter is a good song too imo.
I love it! He deserved to win, there is a lot to improve, but he was the best and he will do very well in Eurovision!
This is the presentation already being the winner.

Similar to last year entry. If this qualify i dont think it will get higher position than last year.
Honestly, another country needs to join Ukraine with their qualification streak. Great pick, keep it going Luxembourg
It is so Junior Eurovision 😂
That’s what I’m saying 💀💀
Not with this costume change and her skirt going up way too much 😁

Yes, I feel the same. So far all the NF songs have been underwhelming.
Ukrainians all over the production team, nice.... 🇺🇦
Or Russians ?
@@PierreLorandamost of them are certainly Ukrainians, with maybe only a couple of ambiguous-sounding names here and there.
Seeing the spelling of the names, likely a mix of both, but majority are Ukrainians

It's impossibly hard to reach to the level of the immortal France Gall's song. Unfortunately, this is not a case of a song doing it.

Nice song, retro, really enjoyable, but the vocals are rather shaky

Old fashioned and bad
How many times did Greece win the ESC?
horrorrrr
As mediocre as last year. 🥲 Pretty unoriginal… heard it a thousand times before. I’d really want Luxembourg to do well, but well…
The fact that this song refers to an old Eurovision song is something very original that has rarely or never been seen before...
